To All Who Can Help:
Subject: The 11th annual fund appeal to provide holiday meals for House of Refuge East residents
This letter is an appeal to you to help House of Refuge East provide a holiday meal for its residents.
Every year for the past 10 years John Hall REALTORS® have sponsored the holiday meal for the families living in the House of Refuge East facilities. These homeless families have met HRE’s strict definition of homelessness. They arrive at HRE with very little in the way of personal possessions and little if any financial means.
HRE’s mission is to provide transitional housing and supportive services to homeless individuals, families, and victims of domestic violence. Their purpose is to empower participants to experience healing and become self-sufficient.
Our mission is to collect sufficient donations that will provide a holiday meal for each HRE family. A meal costs just shy of $50 and our goal is to collect 100 meal equivalents this year. With the funds collected we purchase and deliver the meals and the remaining amount is donated to HRE in the form of grocery store gift cards so that they can provide whatever supplies the families need to prepare and serve the meal. HRE is a 501c3 approved charity and if you need a receipt for tax time just check the box on the pledge form. All (100%) of the funds collected are used for the meals and gift cards to HRE.
These are tough times for everyone and more so for the folks who find themselves is such dire straits that they must turn to agencies like HRE for help. Please take a minute and fill out the donation form and send or drop-off at any John Hall & Associates office.
When it comes time to pick up and deliver we always need a hand to load and unload and the more hands the better. Each meal serves 6 so there is a lot to carry. We will be picking up meals at the Fry’s at 67th Ave and Bell Rd on December 16th. And, we deliver to HRE in Mesa at the former Williams Air Force Base. Tom Boyles and Lou Migliore at Arrowhead have donated the transportation. If you can help, please give Colleen a call at Arrowhead 623-878-8500.
Sincerely,
The John Hall 2009 HRE Holiday Meal Team
